you figured me... Lol JK... I wanted to point it out, and mention even wit a price drop (not sure if permanent!) its doing pretty bad? Oh welll Srry lmao.
how many units sold do you think it needs to hit to NOT be doing pretty bad? or are you just saying that it's selling bad RIGHT NOW?
well as of these two weeks(ending Jan 5 and 12) it did pretty bad, With a price drop you think it'll sell good but it hasn't. Jus saying!
but it was doing bad before "these two weeks(ending Jan 5 and 12)"
;)
you little devil you
lol
trying to pour salt in the eyes
but what number does it need to reach to "sell good" in your opinion, tbone?
Anything over 500k is good for a new franchise, but since this is the SSB of PS, i expect no less than 2mil lifetime, but it'll be good if this game gets a mil i guess. TBH, if it gets a mil now it wont be that much of an accomplishment! Why? Well PS3 has over a 70mil userbase and this game got heavy discounts, more than every game this holiday! Me personally think it well have 1.2mil life w/o bundle imo
oh because i was about to say that is game is definately going to reach a mill. It will cross the million mark a few weeks before LBPK does
these games are slow burners and you can tell from the as of right now
Battle Royale MIGHT be able to reach like 2 mill but we just have to watch the legs as they happen. I'm waiting to see if Sony is going to bundle this and if so, i want to see how far this gets before they bundle it
I originally predicted this to sell 3-5 mill as long as it had ATLEAST decent advertising and Crash Bandicoot and Spyro because these are the PlayStation mascots and will FOREVER be apart of PlayStation Family.
and of course the main PlayStation franchises are not here to represent their place in the PlayStation Universe and the advertisements were pretty much absent besides that wack commercial in Europe
I've said this before but i will say it again
could you imagine what Smash Bros would be like if everything Mario related and Zelda related was omitted from the franchise? exactly, YOU CAN'T
Battle Royale also needs some work done because it does have some stuff that is missing and there are little things that bother me with it
like where the fuck is the background crowd? They also could have allowed unlockable characters and hidden stages. LIKE WTF I NEED TO FEEL LIKE I'M PROGRESSING!!! I loved that rewarding feeling i get when i unlock a character or hidden stage in Smash Bros. There is no feeling in Smash Bros that feels better than when I unlock a character or a hidden stage
you know that Hit the bag thing that was introduced in Smash Bros Melee? yea they need something like that in Battle Royale AND that Hit the target mini game thingy lol
It needs a subspace emissary type Adventure mode or ATLEAST an adventure mode like the 1 in Melee(I was expecting to see 1 of these in Battle Royale. They could have made a damn adventure mode. You remember that video of the early build of Battle Royale when it was called "Title Fight"? well some of the stuff in that video could have EASILY been used in some parts of the Battle Royale adventure/Subspace emissary mode.
here is the video if you haven't seen it
They could have fleshed out the whole rivalry thing A LOT more than they did. The menu while selecting a character could be better and it is also bland when you are waiting for a match to start in the single player mode. I also like the way you "select" characters in Smash Bros better aswell. you know how when you select a character you have to drag the little coin thing over the character to select them? yea i like that more than the" regular" way you do it in Battle Royale =P
also i somehow "feel" more involved in the game while waiting for a match to start in Smash Bros but i guess that is due to the blandness of the battle royale menus and wait screen
I'm convinced that SuperBot was solely focused on just outduing Smash Bros 64( being that it was the 1st in the series like Battle Royale is) and i'm hoping that they step it up next gen just the way Nintendo did when Melee released
It's a pretty good game when it comes to the gameplay or what not though(which is what matters the most to everybody i guess)
The reason i didn't like Brawl as much as Melee was because they slowed the gameplay down and it didn't feel right AT ALL playing with the Wii Mote but that was back when it launched
but Battle Royale is going to slowly climb up the chartz regardless though
You actually did that? For how long? I gave it up after 1 match and went back to my Gamecube controller (I hope it will feel as good with the WiiU Pro Controller).
@topic: I don't think PSABR is exactly a bad game, but it is too similar to SSB64 (being inferiour in some areas!) instead of Melee or Brawl. While this doesn't necessarily mean it's a bad game it is always a bad idea to compete against the WORST game in a series.
It was at a friends house and he knew that i was like the main person who used to play Smash Bros on the gamecube(i'm pretty much the 1 who got him into playing it). I'll beat ANYBODIES ass in Smash Bros Melee with Mario.. ANYBODY
he only had like Smash Bros, Mario Galaxy, Wii Sports, Ben 10 and some game where you have to shoot chickens. of course i played Mario Galaxy and Smash Bros after we got off Wii Sports. I liked Mario Galaxy but i just didn't like how slow Brawl felt compared to Melee when we vs each other. I LOVED the subspace emissary mode though and i immediately said in my mind "this is better than Melee's Adventure mode". I had to use the Wii mote every time i had a chance to play it so it just never really grew on me. I hate when companies change sh!t in games that never needed to be changed
it's the little sh!t that counts to me
I also didn't like Mario Kart Wii too much because they fucked up the little manual speed boost to make it easier for the "casuals" smh.
Edit:Right I forgot that is Superbot entertainment.
yea they could have atleast hid the damn Wii LMAO!
but that wouldn't change anything because everybody would still know that it drew major inspiration from Smash Bros
and what do you mean they present it as "PS smash bros"?
1st of all the name.
Super smash bros-PS all stars. Both define a collection of greats it might not be that apparent in NA but note that the Jp name of SSB is called Nintendo All-stars. Yeah.
Brawl,Melee-Battle Royale This one should be self-explanatory.
2nd, the stage design.
Taking parts from your franchises is ok. But setting them in the same 2D platform fighting style as Smash along with "changing stage progression" and collapsable parts of a stage. One thing I give them is the option to turn off stage interference. That was good.
3rd, items.
Bunny ears=Boots of hermes
Freeze missile= that one ice thing from ice climbers
You get the idea, a lot of these items have the same effects, and while one may argue that these are commonplace, the repeated spinning of the Baumusu Axe seems oddly similar to the repetitive hammer strikes.....
4th Intention.
Ok look. Sony wants this to be like Smash bros. Smash bros gave me detailed stories behind characters, which persuaded me to buy some of their games. I understand that I would've never become a Fire Emblem fan if it wasn't for Marth, never played metroid until I saw samus sitting at Gamestop at 7.99 and thinking "huh I should try that".
I can totally understand why Sony wants this, the Smash games alone sold a huge amounts on Nintendo games indirectly. Smash games sold 25 mil, I can assure you that it indirectly sold 25 mil more. But seriously? It's just wayyyyyyyy too obvious. And people know that.
1.) Nintendo actually named it that in Japan? WTF!?! that name is so wack!! "Smash Bros" sounds waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyy better than "Nintendo All Stars". "PlayStation All stars Battle Royale" is a wack ass name too. The only part of the name "PlayStation All Stars Battle Royale" i like is the bolded
2.) oh come on.. there is nothing wrong with them using 2d fighting style stages. Nobody gets mad at Smash Bros for using 2d fight style stages like all the other multiple fighting games before it(Mortal Kombat, Street Fighter etc) That's like people getting mad at games like puppeteer and Little Big Planet for being 2d side scrollers like other games before it
3.) lol there is nothing wrong with items that have similar effects to other games LMAO. lol what if Nintendo sued sega for having rings in Sonic as the equivalent to coins in Mario LOL What if Ninty sued them because the sparkly box makes Sonic invincible for a short time the same way the star makes Mario invincible for a short time LOL
C'mon now..
I mean Battle Royale DOES draw major inspiration from Smash Bros so you would think that 1 would realise that things would be similar...
4.) why do you think it's obvious? BECAUSE SMASH BROS WAS THE MAIN INSPIRATION FOR THIS GAME so of course it's going to look the same
and do you want to know what's funny? I've seen people buy this game BECAUSE IT IS LIKE Smash Bros.
I have some friends who are just like me(they play PlayStation AND Nintendo) but they don't go on game sites like VGchartz and what not so they are the typical people who mainly only buy the mainstream games like COD,Assassins Creed and some other games here and there. So i started downloading a bunch of demos on the PlayStation they had and i downloaded a lot of PS exclusives. so i got stuff like Killzone 2 and 3, Fat Princess,Flower,echocrome, The Unfinished Swan and a few other games. Do you know what these motherfuckers liked out of thes games? They surprisingly fell in LOVE with Flower, Fat Princess and The Unfinished Swan lol. They didn't like Killzone 2 because of the controls and they they didn't like Killzone 3 all too much but they were playing it enough though. So later i was on the ps3 browser and i was thinking of some games so i said "you guys know what Smash Bros is, right?" and they were all like "yea"(it was like 11 of us... 4 girls and 7 guys... we were all drinking and what not) and then i said "have you heard of the Smash Bros game with the PlayStation Characters?" and they all said "no" but were interested to see what i was talking about so i pulled up the Battle Royale Intro
man these motherfuckers were hypnotised by this intro lol. they were all naming the characters as they appeared and what not(i made sure not to say who was in it before they watched)
they were like
Jak and Ratchet pop up -->"is that Jak? why is he shooting at ratchet & Clank?"
Nathan and Sly pop up --> *everybody gasps when drake kicks ratchet off the rail* none of them recognised drake though but a few of them knew who Sly was
Fat princess and Cole pop up --> EVERYBODY went crazy when Fat Princess popped up(mainly because i had just previously got them into it) and only 1 person knew who Cole was but seemed to like him since he had electrical powers
Sir Dan and Radec pop up --> a few were like "oh that's that skeleton guy from the graveyard game that was on ps1!!" and everybody recognised Radec because we had just played Killzone
Big Daddy and Sackboy pop up --> they recognised Big Daddy because we also played Bioshock 1(i brought my copy over) and only 1 person recognised Sackboy but they all laughed when little sackboy took Big Daddy down.
Nariko and Dante pop up --> a few recognised the "red head" girl from the game that they wanted to play but never got around to it(Heavenly Sword) and EVERYBODY knew who Dante was. 1 of them almost had an orgasm when he seen Dante lol he was like " Holy Sh!t!! Dante is in this!?!?!"
Heihachi and Toro pop up --> everybody knew who the "Tekken" guy was but they didn't know who the fuck Toro was lol
Spike and Parappa pop up --> everybody knew who they both were but they referred to spike as "that guy in the ps1 game you caught monkeys with" and everybody FULLY remembered Parappa by his name, surprisingly
Cole and Raiden show up --> everybody only remembered cole as the electrical guy from earlier in the video lol and only me and 1 other person knew who Raiden was. the majority atleast remembered who Snake was when i mentioned that Raiden was from Metal Gear Solid
Sweet Tooth and Kratos showed up --> most of them remembered Sweet Tooth as "that clown from that shooting car game back on the ps1" and of course EVERYBODY just instantly knew who Kratos was
and after watching it THEY started looking up gameplay videos of it on youtube and they seemed to be so blown away by how the levels were(like the Hydra bursting through the platform in metropolis).
The REAL funny thing is that they pretty much wanted to see this game because i said "Smash Bros with PlayStation characters"
As a fan of Sony and fighting games, Playstation All Stars is an embarassment of a game. It's got to rank up there with All The Bravest for Worst Games Of All Time.
You are the answer to every prayer I've offered.
You are a song, a dream, a whisper, and I don't know how I could have lived without you for as long as I have.

Majora said: The only character I recognised on the cover of PSASBR is the skeleton knight - Sir Malcolm? IDK. All the other's I'm like - wait, who? Oh and Sack Boy - but I've no interest in playing LBP after playing it for five minutes at a friends house.
If you can only recognise 1 character then you obviously weren't a big PS fan back in the ps1 days like how you were probably a big Nintendo fan back then
so this game wouldn't need to to cater to you if you didn't grow up with the characters..
but there is nothing wrong with that though. I was a big Nintendo fan aswell but i was also a big PlayStation fan so i knew who most of the characters were in Battle Royale no different than how i knew who most of the characters were in Smash Bros

Yes, I completely agree with you. I just believe that Nintendo's IP's are so much more recognisable to the general public, which goes a long way to selling a game like this. If even as a gamer I recognise less than five of these characters, it's a bit bleak. I reckon they should've had Croc in the roster =p Legend of the Gobbos FTW!
The game has awesome gameplay mechanics, but its hard. I get that some of you dont understand that. but yeah, it needs some skill. go watch some highlvl games.
Also every Mariogame outsells Uncharted. Total flop, yeah.
I wont say the game is perfect like some of you do with SSBB.
but hell the game is fun, you should actually play it rather than judge it from the beginning or from the rather bad beta
AND YEAH GUESS WHAT
I knew EVERY single character that is in the game by name/game and everything else!
Thats not what I can say of SSBB. BUT HEY THATS JUST ME
I wont judge you by that.
other than you, because seems thats the only thing you can do?
tripenfall said: Word to the wise Sony, if you are going to blatently rip off another game it has to be better than the game you ripped off...... In this case it's not even close. Some of the characters seem really tacked on and simply lack the charm of Smash Bros..... Never forget how revolutionary it was in the 64 era to have a decent 4 player simultaneous fighting game....
What the fu.... nope. Nope. No. Leaving the thread.
